The necessity Of some governmental
regulation of railways beyond and above
q State legislature, is shown by the rea-
dY-to-be-bribed legislators of Indiana
and Wisconsin, who by threats of pas
sing laws cutting down the legal rate Of
railway fares within these States, have
bulldozed the managers 30 that it has
been announced that passes within the
State" will be issued to members of the
Legislature and elective State officers.
The people should protest at once, and
retire TO private life any officer who
would accept pass. A man who can
be bribed with railway passes has no
business in office.

Central and Erie roads, several years ago. they
found that over three -fourths of the New York
Central shippers enjoyed special rates. which in
every case were below the established tariff. As
a heavy fine is imposed by the interstate bill
upon railroad granting special rate, it is safe
to presume this form of discrimination will go
out of favor. Tho ruinous railroad wars of the
past have always been brought about by low
rate granted to one clipper and denied to an
other.
